BEACHWOOD, Ohio -

Domestic violence: Cedar Road

At 8:05 p.m. Nov. 2, police were called to the Beachwood Place lot, 26300 Cedar Road, where a Shaker Heights woman, 52, reported that her daughter, 18, had stolen her Honda car.

The woman pointed out to officers her daughter, who was in the lot. Officers learned from the daughter that she considers her mother "overbearing" and decided to leave her home to live with her girlfriend, 19, of Cleveland.

The mother had previously allowed her daughter to use the Honda, with conditions, but the news of her daughter moving in with her girlfriend did not comply with those conditions. The mother would not allow her daughter to use the car, but the daughter took the vehicle.

When the mother learned that her daughter had used the mother's debit card to make a purchase at the mall, she went to the mall. In the parking lot, when her daughter and her girlfriend returned to the Honda, she confronted them.

The mother allegedly called the girlfriend a derogatory name and told her daughter to stand by the Honda. When the daughter approached her mother and girlfriend, the mother allegedly pushed her daughter. When the daughter again approached, the mother allegedly knocked her to the ground, punched her and pulled her hair.

The daughter had a bump on her head, but refused medical attention.

The mother did not deny being physical with her daughter, but explained to police that she did so because her daughter stole her car.

Police arrested the mother for domestic violence. The daughter requested a protection order against her mother.

Disturbance: Cedar Road

At 5:05 a.m. Oct. 30, police were called to The Vantage apartments, 27050 Cedar Road, where a man, 31, reported that his boyfriend, 37, had forced open his locked bedroom door.

At the scene, officers spoke with the boyfriend who pushed open the locked door. He said he was frustrated because his boyfriend had recently begun smoking methamphetamine, which had adversely impacted their relationship.

The man, as he spoke to police, held his boyfriend's broken methamphetamine pipe.

The man who called police told officers that he argued earlier that day with his boyfriend and that they ended their relationship, so he installed the lock on the bedroom door. He said his boyfriend also smokes methamphetamine.

Police took the pipe and the two agreed to live in the same apartment, but sleep in different rooms.

Receiving stolen property: Chagrin Boulevard

At 1:35 p.m. Nov. 2, an officer found that a Chevrolet car, reported stolen, was parked and unoccupied in the lot of the Darwood Building, 23360 Chagrin Blvd.

Two officers parked outside the office building, one in an unmarked car, and waited for the female suspect to come to the stolen car.

An officer then saw a woman looking nervously from a second-floor window. The woman apparently saw the marked police car.

The marked car then left in hopes of drawing the woman out of the building and to the car.

At about 2:15 p.m., the woman was seen leaving the scene as a passenger in a Toyota driven by another woman. An officer stopped the Toyota for a traffic violation and identified the passenger as the suspect, an Elyria woman, 23.

Inside the Chevrolet, police found a wallet and papers that included the suspect's name.

She was arrested for receiving stolen property.
